Yeah both devs made comments but I think the Horizon devs were butthurt about ER making more sales.

So 150 randomly generated caves in every openworld game become a norm? Please no.

Nah more like giving little guidance to the player and actually letting them explore and rewarding them for doing so.

There is nothing to explore there. All your exploration will lead you to another generated catacomb with a "boss" and worthless shit in the end. All of the places which worth your time are perfectly visible on the map, you don't need to "explore" to find them.

I think GoW is overrated trash and won't be surprised if it wins. Nobody is allowed to say a bad word about it apparently.
The true GOTY is Elden Ring.

Which is awesome. But also what I loved about God of War hubs exploration so not very relevant in this particular Thread.
Unless they dumbed down this aspect in Ragnarok.. guess I'll figure out today.
Same exact numbers as 2018, RDR2 97 vs GoW 94. The latter won.

I don't think you rememeber how things work, the map barely shows anything when you start and you have to move to locations to mark them.

Nothing is changing because of Elden Ring. Stop being delusional.

I think it's delusional of you to think other devs aren't going to look at the 15 million+ sales of Elden Ring an not try to copy the success

God of War 2018 has lots of trash looking armors and many little assets in the forest area are missing shadows on PS4/PS5. Norse mythology is not nearly as charming looking as the greek one to me, and there are also no exposed boobs whatsoever in the game which is obviously a downgrade in my book.
There, I just said bad things about the game. Nothing would happen though as I'm not a troll with habit of trashing games funded by a particular platform maker only, nor calling what's considered by many to be the very best game of all time "overrated trash" right before I go back to Halo Infinite or Cyberpunk.
I mean.. can be really worse than your current one?Lmao same here. Oh well. Hope Elden Ring wins or i might have to take a break from Neogaf till next year

I think that’s hyperbole, however if it’s anything like 2018 it’ll just be a very solid 9 for me. I think the lavish praise was absurd. Elden Ring is a 10, and is the game of the year.

I swear it's my last post in the Thread until I'll play Ragnarok, but how on Earth could you think the lavish praise for a game that completely reinvented its stagnant series, featuring a better narrative than Naughty Dog games on top of the very best/layered gameplay I've ever seen outside of a handful of japanese games + insane production values all around, was "absurd"?
This kind of opinion feels absurd to me.
It's the kind of game that should get 10 if I ever saw one, as there's basically no objective flaw with the game.
And yet Elden Ring is a 10, even with trash performance that affect gameplay, 360 era kind of graphics, very little/next to none mechanics improvements over previous games of the "same series" (in some cases even worse) with the exception of traversals and general game structure, and a billion time easier to pull of kind of narrative.

Sure, if you like simple story telling. ‘My wife died and me and my son are going on a journey together BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY’. Wow. Deep. It’s not even in the same league as The Last of Us.
It’s not even got the best gameplay within its own series.
The production values were very good yes. Top class.
Literally platinumed the game on PS5 last night. What gameplay was effected for you?
Game stylistically looks miles better than GoW 2018.
Don't fix it if it’s not broken. What is there to improve upon when you already have the most satisfying gameplay loop in the industry?
The narrative for Elden Ring is original and much harder to pull off than God of War.

You can't see legacy dungeons here? Redmane Castle, Caria Manor, Shaded Castle, Castle Morne, Evergaols, Minor Erdtrees, etc., etc. Please. I explored Limgrave thoroughly, mostly naturally without relaying on the map. After tenth catacomb i decided that this kind of content is not worth my time. Of course you need to explore to some degree to find more bonfires or whatever they called, golden seeds, merchants, recipes, etc. But it's just a regular busywork there is nothing exciting or groundbreaking about it.
This is all about the overworld part, dungeons are still good and interesting to explore (of course i mean handcrafted ones, not this randomly generated junk) even if i found all of them beside Stormveil Castle absolutely unremarkable.

Yeah, sure. I don't envy you if that's your take on the game narrative/story/ethos/archetypes.
In my book it shits all over whatever Naughty Dog did this gen.
That's a legit trash opinion.
From DMC lite to completely unique systems, with real depth/layers whole planets above previous game and 99.9% of games of the market.
Just watch regular, even skilled gamers playing it and then watch these:
You can put 300 hours in the game and still not be able to get close to 50% of what's really possible. That's the most pure definition of depth and skilled based mechanics.
Nothing more than a personal opinion.
It's absolutely, fucking not. You basically can't do wrong with that kind of narrative, good luck on the other hand turning a cartoon, over the top series like God of War into a legit emotional story and succeed.

Why do PlayStation fans always come up with such images? I don't get it. Do they really care that game got 10s from We got this covered, JVL, nextgenbase and similar?

Fits within the narrative they're pushing.

Also FYI Elden Ring is 96 on PS5 with 85ish reviews and 94 on PC with 60 reviews averaging out to 95.
It is 95 on Open Critic
God of War Ragnarok is 94 on PS5 with 125 reviews and 94 on Opencritic
It isn't some huge difference in score the differential is only one point which is negligible when it comes to GOTY.
The question only arises if it is able to hook the masses over the next 2 weeks like Elden Ring did.

Elden Ring is so much more replayable it's not even funny and it has multiplayer.

This is about Geoff Keighley awards GOTY.
But I do agree, GOWR is more likely to win GOTY awards that both Bayonetta 3 and Elden Ring.

Only a few hours into GOW but I’d say neither of those games. Elden ring has the worst end game of any souls series and gow feels more like an expansion than a new game. I felt like I had to force myself through a lot of areas.
To be honest I’ve had the most fun with xenoblade 3 this year.

97 is outdated score, it's 9597 > 94

I'm not saying GoW will win but Red Dead Redemption II had a higher metacritic than GoW 2018 and GoW still won Goty lol

1-MC scores mean shit
2-Geoff doesn't vote. Also, Bloodborne and DS 3 didn't win shit
3-You mean similar to GOTY 2018? How is that a bad thing?
